This study is observational data from Zambia to assess progress toward the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) 90-90-90 targets. In this analysis, acceptance of HIV testing among those consenting to the intervention was high, although linking them to care and antiretroviral treatment initiation took longer than expected. Achieving higher test uptake in men and connecting them to care more quickly will be objectives during the second annual round of the intervention.
